Good Times, Good Times

1. Good times indeed

The home of two world class musicians, Bo Ramsey and Pieta Brown, and the world record for the hokey pokey is set? Oh well. I love Iowa football as much as anyone, but why don't Bo and Pieta get their due? Ah never mind. Congrats to all the people out there on the world record. Guess Coralville should be noted for something. Hope you all had fun. Sure looks like you did.

2. Someday

Iowa City will be known as a suburb of Coralville.

3. And then I will put a bullet in my head.

Coralville sucks. Strip malls. Nothing else. Just an absolute piece of shit.

5. I live in Coralville

And am quite happy here. You don't have to shop or eat at the mall. We have a local bakery, restaurants, little shops on 5th Street, New Pi Coop, etc. Maybe you just aren't looking hard enough.

6. Let me ask you, Blue. When you are downtown Coralville, where exactly are you??

I'll say this. It has as much or MORE charm than North Liberty. Sorry, folks. You won't find it on the great places to live lists.

7. I would say 5th Street

At least that's where all the city offices are located, along with the library, fire station, park, office buildings, etc. I give the Coralville City Council a lot of credit for not wasting any time in improving flood protection for the city. They've done a lot more than Iowa City or Cedar Rapids.
